Patient verified via Press Ganey

This was my second visit and she didn't remember anything from first visit. She asked me the same questions she did my first appointment. She was aware that I was off my medication prior to my first visit and she acted like I never told her and told me that if my urine shows that my medicine is not in my system she could get in trouble. Ok well I told you I was off my medication for 2 months before my first visit. My blood pressure was high and she in a way It seemed like she was trying to accuse me of doing other drugs or abusing my prescription.

She completely ignored me when I stated that I didn't want to be on daily anxiety medication and prescribed it anyway. I only needed medication for an upcoming appointment.
